HAYING IN THE MEADOW - WITH A SCYTHE THROUGH NATURE
- When. July 26 (Saturday) 10 a.m.
- Where. A flowery meadow next to a greenhouse
Join us for a unique event in the rhythm of nature!
Bees, bumblebees, butterflies and moths, beetles, spiders, flies, praying mantises, beetles, snails, wrigglers, toads, snakes, mice, birds... the meadows are teeming with life! Each blade of grass is a home, shelter or canteen for hundreds of species. That's why it's so important to care for them wisely.
Haying is not just a tradition - it is a concern for biodiversity.
Mowing meadows at the right time and in the right way promotes their health and biodiversity. When mowed after most plants have flowered and after the bird breeding season, preferably once or twice a year - in summer and autumn - the meadow has a chance to flourish for years to come.
During the event:
- you will learn why some parts of the meadow should be left unmowed so that animals can take refuge,
- You will learn the importance of grasslands in our ecosystem,
- You will see how life in the countryside used to be and take unusual atmospheric photos.
The cut grass will be left in place to sow its seeds, supporting next year's meadow life.
It will be a beautiful day close to nature, with respect for plants, animals and ancient rural heritage! Dress comfortably, take your camera and join us!
Let this meadow stay with us not only in pictures, but also for generations.
* in case of rainy weather, the event will be rescheduled.
